Depends on the sliding you want to do, if you want to do drifting slides with grippins, go faster and put more weight on your hands.

Otherwise for trick sliding I would personally suggest some harder wheels in the 90+a range.

theres 2 types of sliding ?? whats the difference ?

[theboardthatislong]

yeah grippins wont do for anything more than a drift or a safety slide...
gumballs are a little better once worn in
get something harder, like strikers

[fleacz]

ooooo no wonder !! usually when i turn i keep feeling a drift but then i try to slide but i couldnt ....k k but in order to drift slide do i need to go fast or can i go like at cruising speed

[mc99david]

cruisin speed, like 15-20mph?, will work, but you have to turn real hard, the faster you go the easier it is. but yeah, for tech, or trick sliding, those wheels will definitly not do the trick

[Arbor11]

if you have never tried sliding then you want to un-weight the board by putting your weight on your hand, then you want to turn really hard. You cant be scared to do it, you just have to go for it
